Why American Baptist?


Pastor Bruce Stryd explains his choice:
"I am pleased to be part of the American Baptist Churches. I am connected with this faith family by choice. My choice was made with four reasons in mind:
1) This family of faith helps me stay focused on Jesus Christ. It is very accepting of the variety of ways to live out my Christian faith, and at the same time it affirms the ancient core faith principles of being a Christian;
2) This family of faith is the most ethnically diverse. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from and share with Christians from various walks of life and racial backgrounds;
3) This faith family respects all people God created. And so we affirm that God has called and equipped both men and women in equal ways to serve Christ's mission. It also means our missionaries do not impose western culture and style when sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with people of differing cultures and lands;
4) This faith family encourages Christians to live out their faith in action and in words. Serious help is available to both learn and talk about our faith, as well as become involved in efforts that show the love of Christ to people and work at improving situations and systems in our world.
Come and see what a larger family of faith can do for you and your relationship with God."
